Congrats to our Flat Margy Contest Winners!

We appreciated the sense of fun and creativity the Stanford community brought to the last of our summer games series.

For the third in our summer contest series, we asked you to bring Flat Margy along on your commute, and you delivered. A twist on the vintage books and elementary school assignment, Flat Margy was named after the star equine who pulled Stanford’s first mode of transportation, the horse and buggy. Congrats to gift card winners Kitty Lee, Robert Strachan, Andrew LeMat, and Adolfo Leon

MOST CREATIVE MARGY

Kitty Lee commutes from Sunnyvale on the Caltrain Express and then takes the Marguerite Shuttle from the Palo Alto Transit Station to campus.
“I thought it would be lovely –and fitting– for a rainbow themed Margy since we just finished celebrating pride month. We should ALL be able to enjoy the ride of life – no matter what color!“

CITY SLICKER MARGY

Robert Strachan showed Flat Margy true devotion to a sustainable commute. Together, from Robert’s home in Oakland, they took an AC Transit bus to San Francisco, then hopped aboard SF Muni to Caltrain, which they rode to the Palo Alto station. Then, finally, the Marguerite Shuttle to the Stanford campus. Robert had no prior knowledge of Flat Stanley but said, “I imagine it'd take about 450 combined Flat Margys and Stanleys to power the AC Transit leg of my commute alone.”

BEDTIME MARGY

Flat Margy not only inspired Andrew LeMat to bike and ride Caltrain to work from Los Altos but also to read the Flat Stanley books to his son, Mason, for the first time.
“He’s four and loves it,” said Andrew. Bonus: Andrew scored his bike at Stanford’s bike sales. “Such a fantastic way for staff to get a bike for going to and from work,” he said.

MULTI-MODAL MARGY

Adolfo Leon scootered with Flat Margy to the Union City Bart station where he caught the Dumbarton Express bus. He hopped off at the Oval, then scootered to his Bonair Siding Rd. office. A little fresh air and fountain hopping looks good on you, Flat Margy

HONORABLE MENTION MARGY

Even Marguerite Shuttle driver, Antonio Franco (aka “Franco”) got into the spirit and played our Flat Margy game.

MEET THE AUTHOR MARGY

Thanks to the Stanford community for participating in our summer contest series. What fun to see Flat Margy enter the Summer ‘23 pop culture zeitgeist and get its own meme.

Sing it everybody: Come on Margy, let’s go party. Ooh oh, ooh oh.

MARGUERITE FUN FACTS

The Marguerite Shuttle got its name from the horse that pulled Asa "Uncle John" Andrews’ carriage as he ferried people from Palo Alto to Stanford. The Marguerite has 19 route lines that serve the Stanford community. You can track the Marguerite shuttle in real time with the SPOT App.
